Day 194 2016: Let's go a little bit closer...

Day 194: ...or maybe not

Today the heat, or rather the humidity, started to really kick in here in Tokyo. And at 28 degrees at 7.00am as I left the house, it is a certain type of heat and humidity...like Brisbane on its very worst days.

After a long day of teaching and trying to sort through students applications, (again, and not terribly successfully). I thought a detour via the port, a little closer than usual, might offer a bit in the way of cooling down on the way home.

Much to see...

The port: water level

Surface patterns

Surface patterns 2 (yes, I know, it might be, er, not pleasant)

Birds in motion

Not related to the above pic (I don't think)

...but no boats or barges. Perhaps they're only visible from ten floors up! Nonetheless, it wasn't that much cooler at 5.30pm but it offered a different perspective on my usual view. A closer view of life on the portside.

And that can't be a bad thing now, can dear reader. Can it?
